​Kuwait's airspace witnessed a dangerous security development this morning as Kuwait International Airport was targeted by an unidentified drone, prompting a high-alert response within the airport premises.

This attack comes amid increasing regional threats targeting critical infrastructure in the Arab Gulf states.

​Field Details and Injuries

According to information received from official sources, the attack resulted in minor injuries to a number of airport workers due to debris or the panic that followed the targeting. Ambulance and emergency teams rushed to the scene to provide necessary medical care to the injured, while minor cases were treated on-site.

​Material Damages and Investigation Path

Preliminary reports confirmed that the material damage resulting from the attack was limited and did not entirely disrupt air traffic. However, security authorities established a cordon around the targeted site to begin investigations. Competent authorities are currently working to analyze the remnants of the drone to determine its type and point of origin, in an attempt to identify the party responsible for this hostile act.
